Your Corporate Social Impact Project will be an on-campus internship where you and a team of three to four student volunteers are paired with a partner organization such as Apple or Microsoft to help them find solutions to the challenges of their cause.

Students are expected to:

Contribute seven to nine hours of work per week.

Meet five times for the three-credit class to learn valuable skills.

Commit to giving a professional effort and delivering high-quality work.

Teams will work with their partner organization to innovate solutions for the world’s most pressing social problems such as poverty, health care, education, and economic development. The world needs your talents.

Each partner and project requires different skills; partners need interns with skills ranging from financial modeling to video editing, and everything in between. We encourage all MBA students to apply. Students who are accepted have a passion for solving social issues and can adhere to the time commitments for a project.

When projects become available close to the start of the semester, we will invite you to review them and indicate your preferences.

Team assignments are made by Friday before the add/drop deadline.

NOTE: Some projects require none of the specified skills on the application, so don’t be intimidated or back out of applying. Applying should take five to fifteen minutes.

The simplest answer is: We don’t know.

Because we are working with real-world partner organizations and their actual work in the field, we won’t know the details of their needs until close to the beginning of the semester.

However, we do know that every semester we have close to thirty projects that require a diverse set of backgrounds and skills to accomplish them. When you register, you’ll be asked to identify your skills and interests. Later, when projects do come available, you’ll be able to choose your favorites and we will do our best to pair you with one of your top three.
